run spectre from command line

Hello, I am trying to Hello. I am trying to run my netlist input.scs file from command line and I got the error

"

Entering remote command mode using MPSC service (spectre, ipi, v0.0, spectre2_9802_3, ).

ERROR (SPECTRE-8390): Problem encountered in setting up the mpsc front end."

The simulation can be successfully done through virtuoso and ADE L window. but I cannot run through command line.

I would greatly appreciate it if you help me with this


Thanks,

    If you're just running the "runSimulation" script as provided in the netlist directory, then if using ADE L and this is a pure spectre (not APS) simulation, then by default it will be attempting to run in interactive rather than batch mode (unless you'd specifically set the environment to run in "batch" mode).

    You would need to remove the +inter=mpsc from the command line options otherwise it would be expecting to communicate with ADE to run the simulation, and if ADE is not expecting it then this won't work.

    Andrew.
